The Lodge at Camp Margaritaville  

In Pigeon Forge, minutes from Dolly Parton's Stampede and a short drive to the Island at Pigeon Forge and LeConte Center. Set in a national-park edge of the Smokies, this family-friendly, pet-friendly lodge puts attractions and mountain views within easy reach.

The Lodge blends island-style carefree vibes with mountain warmth. Rooms (79 total) come with kitchens, pillowtop beds and premium bedding, 55-inch Smart TVs, safes and desks. It's upscale but playful—think relaxed decor, roomy suites and mountain-mist mornings.

Splash through a waterslide, float the lazy river or unwind in the hot tub. Two outdoor pickleball courts, a pool area adjacent to Fins Bar and a poolside bar keep days lively. The indoor Fin City Entertainment Center packs duckpin bowling, arcade games, billiards and foosball. Onsite arcades, gift shops, a playground and a picnic area add family-friendly extras.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property. 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff and luggage storage. Self parking is available (fees may apply); elevator and accessible services are on site.

An on-site restaurant serves local flavors while a coffee shop/cafe handles quick bites. Relax at the bar/lounge or the poolside bar. Buffet breakfasts are offered daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM (fee applies) and children 4 and under eat free.
